Dear People that I Love Forever,
 |
-last night when we were freezing cold out tracting. so
funny though.
|
So this past week has just been so funny. Like I really
cannot even describe how hilarious it has been. Sister Holm and I get along so
well and she is constantly making me laugh to the point where I either cry or I
fall on the floor because I cannot stop laughing. She is the best. Anyways,
this week has been full of adventures.
Tuesday we went to this dinner fundraiser thing and ate
Indian Tacos! It was for this little girl who has leukemia and all the First
Nation's people put this fundraiser together to help her family out with the
cost of all her medical expenses. It was so great. We sang happy birthday to
her on camera and connected with a lot of Less-Actives there. It was a very
spiritual night.
Wednesday we had Zone Meeting. It was so good! We talked all
about what we can sacrifice to become even more dedicated to the work and how
serving a mission is a privilege, not a sacrifice. It was so wonderful. We had
a really great lesson with one of our investigators, G., about the Plan of
Salvation. It was a great day.
Thursday we did Weekly Planning but it was Thanksgiving! So
happy late Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving with the A.'s, some really
awesome members of our branch, and they had their non-member son over, and he
was super awesome. It was so delicious and I definitely was well fed!

Friday we went on exchanges with the Penticton Sisters. I
went to Penticton with Sister A. and Sister Holm stayed in Oliver with our
District Leader, Sister P.. Sister A. and I had some rough luck with
finding any new investigators, but we did have a 20 minute conversation with
this guy on his porch about our church and tried to explain to him that we are
not a cult and that the only way he will ever know if our religion is true is
if he reads the Book of Mormon. It was a very interesting night.
Saturday a lot of our appointments fell through, so we did a
lot of finding and went and visited one of our member's neighbors. She is really
great and we made her a new investigator! We are hoping things will turn out
well with that(:
Sunday was fantastic as usual. Our branch just has such
strong testimonies! It is incredible! We had some really great lessons with
some investigators and a less-active family. It was a really great day overall.
Yesterday was great. I just love P-Day. we got to take a nap
even! It was fantastic. Then we did some finding and that was where my subject
line of this e-mail comes into play. It was so cold and so windy and the street
we had planned to tract was so ridiculous because it felt like we were knocking
on people's back doors, but we couldn't figure out how to get to the front of
their houses, so we were just like "oh well, I guess it doesn't really
matter" but so many people looked at us like were crazy, 1. for knocking
on their backdoor, and 2. because it was so cold! Sister Holm and I just kept
saying "people still need Christ, even in the cold!" People would say
"yeah, I guess that's true..." It was just so funny and even though
we didn't find any new investigators, it was still a great night!
I love all of you so much and hope you have the best week
ever! xoxoxo
Love, Sister Brittany Anne Larsen(:
